Contents
What is it?
This uses an XSLT 2.0 stylesheet to transform Synfig XML to SVG XML.
Note: this project is abandoned, but feel free to get in contact if you want to restart it. :)
Objective
Turn an Synfig animation into a SVG file for export.
Prerequisites
- Be sure that you have an XSLT processor (xsltproc, Firefox, etc.)
- Download sif2svg.xsl from here
Transforming a Synfig file into a SVG
Enter the following command (replace your_output.svg by the path of the SVG file):
xsltproc sif2svg.xsl your_input.sif > your_output.svg
Result
If the conversion has been successful, the result will be written to the file your_input.svg, in the current folder. You can open this file in Inkscape, or Firefox, or Whatever.
Limitations
- Compressed Synfig files (sifz) must be gunzipped first.
- All sif elements aren’t supported, so it may have a lot of glitchs.
